Would you rather Suh have signed with Saints, then we don’t trade up to draft Davenport?

Or would you rather it they way it happened. Suh passes on us, then we trade up and get Davenport?
On one hand, we could have had Suh possibly Beastmoding for a couple of seasons in Brees final years. There’s a chance that Davenport will take some time to develope or possibly even be a bust.
On the other hand, Suh might shite the bed and be washed up or get hurt/suspended while playing for Rams, and then Davenport flies out the gate dominating this season and we look like geniuses for making the bold trade.
Take your pick so that this could be bumped later in the year or next year and then you can be made fun of for being so terribly wrong.

Good question. I take the long-term talent without an attitude who also could immediately give a big impact, too. Besides, if he even has flashes of Cam moments in his first year, that's huge coming off the edges, which opens the middle up for Rankins as well as any other solid DT contributors we have. I think two edge threats opens the middle like the Red Sea.

Would rather have traded up and drafted Davenport based off of what we could have drafted at 27. Based off of our needs, we would have been reaching if we stayed at 27

I rather the surefire bet of a quality player. We know the window is short, guaranteed production matters at this point.
Super excited about Davenport though. I would be even more excited with both.

I think Davenport is skilled enough to contribute right away. Even if it's only 6-8 sacks this year. I'd rather that upside with 5 years guaranteed on a rookie deal instead of a 17M one year rental.

Kinda hard to know at the moment. Davenport could be anything from a bust to a pro bowler.

I choose the Suh option. I was bummed when he chose LA.
However I am pumped about Davenport and hope to come eat crow after he sets the league on fire.

who says they wouldn't have done both if given the chance though
i don't think they'd have been mutually exclusive

If we hadn't traded up for Davenport LB Harold Landry from BC was sitting at 27 if we wanted him. I'm happy with Davenport. Suh would've been nice from a splash in FA standpoint but I believe Davenport will be a beast this year.

No not at all Mr Davenport.

Not really sure how the two are related...
You can find guys in quantity to do what Suh does, not so much with Davenport, his skill set or potential skill set is tougher to come across.
Also suh was unlikely to solve our pass rush issues, he could have aided it but not in the way Davenport potentially could

The point is, when Suh came to the fork in the road of choosing between Saints Rams,
Him coming to the Saints probably results in us not making that Davenport trade.
So the question is would you have rathered have Suh come here and not have Davenport?

I doubt that’s accurate. It seems we decided early on in the draft process they really liked Davenport

We needed to address pass rusher.
If we address it in free agency by signing the biggest free agent pas rusher, do you really think we give up next years first and other picks to move all the way up for Davenport?
I don’t. I feel like they would have waited until 27 and drafted best available.
